Here is the story of one of the first "miracles" that happened in my life. I had recently become an adult believer, but most people assumed I’d been a believer since I was baptized at 13. But I was new to the faith as an adult, and had zero experience with following the direction of the Holy Spirit as an adult, and no one to mentor me. In my church, the children’s choir director had resigned for personal reasons, and my daughters would not be able to participate in children’s choir, which I thought would be a good experience for them. So, I prayed that God would provide a children’s choir director for our church. After a few of these sessions, I got the impression that I was to be the new director. However, I hated the idea that I might be trying to put my ideas in place and calling them God’s. People have been known to do that, and I despised it. There’s a certain leadership involved, and I didn’t want to do this if it wasn’t what God wanted done – not what I wanted done. I felt conflicted – I would do this, but only if God wanted me to. So, how would I tell if that was the case? I had recently read about how Gideon had asked for a sign from God (in Judges 6), and decided I need to talk to God about this. So I went down to the basement where I would go to pray. Then I told God, I needed for Him to do something to make this clear to me, “your choice of methods - and none of this namby-pamby leading of the Spirit shit – just make it clear” (yes I really said that). To tell the honest truth, when I left the basement, I felt like I’d told God but good, and honestly doubted anything much would happen in response. About 48 hours later, I was in a bookstore in the mall, about 20 feet inside the store, with my back facing the mall entrance when I felt a tug on the back of my shirt. I turned around and saw a girl, her chin a bit higher than belt height. She asked, “Mr Robertson, when do we start Children’s Choir?”. My eyes bugged out, and I felt the shock of a prayer answered dramatically, and the terror that people talk about when they’ve seen an angel. I won’t repeat my words, as they did not bring glory to God. But in essence, I told her “how would I know?”. The shock I felt is hard to explain. It felt like I had seen God face to face. I went home to my basement, and prayed “OK God, I got it. You win” and I started the process of becoming the children’s choir director – which I did for about a year and a half, until other things in my life made it impossible for me to continue. Because I was new to the faith as an adult, I wondered how likely this was to have happened, as it seemed so improbable. So, I put a little thought in the back of my mind to watch for the next time I saw this girl outside of church. Eventually I did see her outside church – it was 6 months later. This was not a highly probable event. In Christian circles, my initial prayer would be called asking for a fleece (from the Gideon passage), and is considered to be a sign of bad faith, or putting God to the test. I tend to agree – but in spite of that, God answered my prayer in a very dramatic fashion that I *completely* didn’t expect. I think God knew the sincerity of my heart in that I truly was willing to do it, and I truly didn’t want to dishonor Him by taking on something He hasn’t assigned me to do, while claiming He had. The rest was more like God said “Watch this” 😉. @SearchingDeeper @autocorrect2_0 @darwintojesus

🚫 FALSE: Rumors claim the Iranian regime recently shot down a U.S. F-15 over Iran. ✅ TRUE: U.S. forces have flown more than 8,000 combat flights during Operation Epic Fury. No U.S. fighter aircraft have been shot down by Iran.

Hanson, who’s studied how wars end for 50 years, says the tide has turned in America’s favor against Iran. Forget the rancid propaganda flowing from all quarters related to the Iran conflict and how it is going - Hanson says look at how everyone else is behaving. Hanson’s Key Points: • Europeans: They never touch a conflict until they smell victory. Early on? Crickets. Now they’re quietly moving assets and offering support. Pure calculation — they’ve read the battlefield and decided which side wins. • Gulf petro-states: Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris survive by reading the room perfectly. They’re expelling Iranian attachés, silently intercepting Iranian missiles over their capitals, and the UAE just reaffirmed its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the U.S. mid-war. These are not gestures — they’re bets. And they’re all-in on America. • Al Jazeera: The Qatari state network that usually bashes U.S. actions (and hosts Hamas offices) is now calling America’s bombing campaign “brilliant” and “underestimated.” When the outlet that hosts both the biggest U.S. air base and Hamas praises U.S. effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: they think we’re winning. • Military reality: A-10 Warthogs and Apache gunships are now flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace at will. These slow, low-flying platforms only appear when enemy air defenses are effectively gone. Confirms what’s really happening on the ground. Iran’s only play left is rope-a-dope: drag it out, hope U.S. public opinion flips, pray midterms pressure Trump to quit. VDH’s verdict: If Trump sees it through — and he will — the regime falls. Not in years. Pretty soon. Bottom line: Watch what people do, not what they say. Every player with skin in the game is betting on America. The signals don’t lie. - @EnergyAbsurdity

The regime has collapsed and its remnants are breathing their last ▪️Not a single Israeli or American leader has Iran and its gangs been able to target ▪️Not a single Iranian missile (China axis) has managed to make a big crater ▪️Not a single Iranian missile is capable of breaching fortifications and nuclear bunkers ▪️Not a single Iranian aircraft is capable of flying in Iran or outside it, as the Iranian air force has been wiped from existence ▪️There are no naval military sectors and boats, only small fishing boats that toss sea mines at night ▪️There are only suicide drones that are being hunted down, with their numbers dwindling terrifyingly due to strikes on factories and mountain caves that are being wiped from existence ▪️There is no longer any leadership in Iran; they've all been eliminated, with 4 left whom death is pursuing, and a fifth column that doesn't even use phones out of fear of the consequences The regime has collapsed, but you don't know it. - @SufianSamarrai

Iran’s “Resistance” Is a Mirage—It’s Executing Its COLLAPSE PLAYBOOK This is  one of the sharpest and most accurate analyses of what’s actually unfolding inside Iran right now—cutting through surface-level “resilience” narratives to expose a system operating exactly as designed, executing its survival doctrine in real time. What looks like strength is actually a regime running its collapse playbook. Mehid Parpanchi: “The Islamic Republic is living inside its collapse plan. That is not evidence of resilience. It is evidence that the system is collapsing. gellerreport.com/2026/03/irans-…

Declassified reports from DNI Gabbard unveils a chilling coup d'état against President Trump by the CIA, the former President of the United States and his entire administration with the media backing them every step of the way. Obama’s intel team fabricated the Russia/Trump collusion narrative to undermine the election of Donald Trump. Tulsi Gabbard’s findings expose a rushed, doctored CIA assessment, orchestrated to mislead the American people ahead of an election to sway their votes away from Donald Trump. That's election interference - direct Treason. The House intel report, hidden for nearly a decade, reveals Barack Obama’s direct role. CIA analysts were pressured to push false claims. No evidence supported the collusion hoax. DNI Gabbard: “We have referred all documents to the DOJ for criminal investigation." “The evidence directly points to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.” The report details a secret CIA operation, led by disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan, ignoring standard protocols. This wasn’t intelligence, it was DIRECT political sabotage eroding trust in the very institutions that are supposed to work FOR the President of the United States and the American citizens. That's FAR from what they were doing. Treason Doesn't Pay Well In The End. - @LightOnLiberty

⁨We’ve all seen the chaos unleashed by Democrats at airports across the country. It’s preposterous that Chuck Schumer continues to hold TSA funding hostage. Thankfully, ICE will bring sanity to our airports starting tomorrow, but it’s far past time for Democrats to fund DHS.

Trump says ICE will deploy to airports Monday to assist TSA: "On Monday, ICE will be going to airports to help our wonderful TSA Agents who have stayed on the job despite the fact that the Radical Left Democrats, who are only focused on protecting hard line criminals who have entered our Country illegally, are endangering the USA by holding back the money that was long ago agreed to with signed and sealed contracts." Airports across the U.S. have seen massive security lines in recent days.

- 高市早苗 @takaichi_sanae PM of Japan: Having completed a series of engagements in Washington D.C., I will now return to Japan. This time, through the summit meeting and dinner, I was able to further strengthen relations with President Trump and all the relevant cabinet members. It was a visit of profound significance, where we confirmed concrete pathways toward further strengthening the Japan-U.S. alliance and the economic development of both countries. Moving forward, I will continue to actively pursue robust diplomacy that maximizes Japan's national interests and contributes to creating peace and prosperity in the world.
